The speech of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, at the dinner given by the New Corporation of Cambridge, in honour of the election of Mr. HOVELL to the office of Mayor, will be read with interest by politicians of all classes, though. it may not be equally satisfactory to all. Thinking men, who know that the blessings we enjoy as a nation can be preserved and handed down to our posterity, only by a timely and effectual eradication of the numerous and great abuses which have crept into our institutions, will rejoice to see that Ministers are determined to proceed fearlessly, but calmly and deliberately, in the career of reform. Those, on the other hand, who are har nessed to the chariot-wheels of faction—those unprin cipled creatures, who view all measures through the medium of selfishness—will find in this development of the Ministerial policy little to cheer their droop ing spirits—nothing to re-animate their withered hopes. The prospect which is opened to their eyes is one in which they can see no be au ty. Th ey can not enter into th e feelings of those whose hearts warm at the tranquillization of Ireland— at the re moval of the brand which still stigmatizes those who dissent from a Parliamentary religion—at the impartial and economical dispensation of justice to the people through Courts of Law cleansed from abuse—all these things affejj them anything but plea- They cannot thig h of them without the greatest pain, because they f'.;e . l them to be incompatible with their own political existence. The speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman, though it does not lay claim to first-rate ability, is en fled to the praise of smartness, point, and /feet. We think the difference in the principles of the Tories and the Liberal - Whigs well described in the following sure. passage : '‘ In the divisions which have taken place in this country, the principle, of one party seems to have been, concede no thing to t'as people but that which cannot be refused without danger'---while the principle of the other party has been, deny nothing to the people which the people have a just elr:lm to possess.'—(Checrs.) But it may be said --not here, } gut elsewhere—' What ! concede all to the people ?" No, Sir, that is not my doctrine. Concede all to the people that is just—concede all that is rightful—concede all power to the -people of which they are the safest and worthiest depositaries. The people of England themselves ask nothing further. They seek not to overturn —not to despoil. They look to their own rights, but looking as they arc bound to do to their own rights, they value and respect all the rights of (Loud cheers.) The ()Toss misrepresentation of the views of the Re held up to lau g h ter an d ridicule— formers are happily the only treatment they deserve—the old Corpora against the n ew , an d f ound tions j us tly weighed 'Wanting:— " But if the argument of those who think we have gone too far be good for anything, I probably at this moment am ad dressing a set of unprincipled Radicals—(Laughter)—blood thirsty Revolutionist men who one day would dine upon the Church, and the next sup upon the steeple—(Laughter)— men seeking to destroy King Lords, and Commons, and all for the sak e o f some fantastic' scheme of their own. I pre sume, Sir, that you, as the great administrator of the affairs of this town, possess the emblem of justice, the ancient cor poration scales. Let us rut the new Municipality of Cam bridge in one scale, and the old Municipality in the other—let us consider them by the standard of education, intelligence, property, and independence, and I venture to say, that in every case the result would be the same, my friends would s i n k, which would bp the first time they ever did sink ; and our enemies would rise—the first time' they ever did rise.-- ( Laughter and cheers.)" 4 ‘1,, • The Fourth Number of the London Review, con tains an able article, entitled " Tax on Newspapers — Reduction or Abolition ? "---in which that important question is handled with much candour, research, and ability. As we have always advocated the abolition of this tax —as we have Uniformly endeavoured to show that its ftholition would equally benefit the Govern-' meat and the country—as we have, upon all occasions, and without regard to personal interests, maintained that the abolition of the Newspaper-duty was a para mount duty on the part of a wise Adminstratio.:, ; we cannot be charged with inconsistency in . '' the wholesome truths contp acc i i n th i s article to the attenfiou Of the CHANCELLOR of the ExcuP:4u Ett . We are not the advocates of a reduction of the duty, unless nothing more can be obtained : what we seek—what in the name of social order and intelligence we demand of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER-1S the total abolition of this vile tax. We have always spoken out on this subject ; we shall continue so to do while any portion of this tax remains. 'We care not what may be the immediate consequences of the abolition of the Stamp Duty: in a very short time the unduly poised scale will recover its natural equilibrium. 'We believe with the Reviewer, that it is an advantage to induce a desperate man to put down the brickbat (the armour. of the Times) and take up the pen. We are persuaded that writers are not mob-leaders, and that readers are not rioters. We would not deny the oppressed, real or imaginary, the Vindication of their wrongs by hard words ; neither would we give to any class of me'• a monopoly of hard words. The pet - iple have a:, good a right to abuse the higher clnses, as the privileged cir cles have to indulge in abuse of them. Crime can never become sacred !, nor ought its precincts to h e held inviolable. Knowled ge , in the acquirement, refines and purifier itself. No matter under what guise it comes, or what bitter, ingredients be mixed up with it, allow it time, and with a power as steady in its operation as aqua fortis poured upon iron, it will imperceptibly, but surely, eat up and eradicate its basyer concomitants. As this question is one of paramount importance, we shall return to it on Monday, accompanying our observations with extracts from an article in the Lon don Review, which we have just mentioned. The public is already aware of the conclusion to which we shall arrive ; iteTN'iftheless, we have too much respect for the opi6ons of those who differ with us, to leave their arguments, however weak, and their objections, however futile, unanswered. The cause of truth is always advanced by free discussion. We are for the total abolition of the newspaper duty. In order to awaken just sympathy, and to call forth, on behalf of the destitute, that vigilance and those charities, to be wanting in which is to fail in the per formance of our duty towards God as well as towards man, we refer our readers to the report which we published yesterday, of an inquisition on the body of JAMES WICKS, an aged man, who died from utter want of the common necessaries of life. One of the witnesses before the Coroner stated, that " the poor creature was scarcely able to walk, and when he took hold of his arm to assist him, he was astonished, for he could feel scarcely anything but bone. In reply to a question whether he was hungry, he answered that he had.not tasted food for three days. He said he had applied to several work-houses for relief, but had been repulsed." The Magistrate (Mr. DYER), ordered the almost lifeless creature to be taken to St. Martin's Work house, and he was accordingly convoyed thither on the stretcher. While the people there were undressing him, preparatory to placing him in bed, the unfor tunate man expired ! The Jury, after generally expressing their deep re gret at so shocking an occurrence, returned a verdic " that the deceased died from want of the common ne cessaries of life." Our first impression on reading these shocking de. tails—details so disgraceful to 'human nature—is, that they eannot possibly have any foundation. We then re-peruse the case, .Ind, from internal evidence of its truth, we are unable longer to doubt the fidelity of the report. The painful conviction, then, irresistibly forces itself upon us, that a fellow -creature has died from want, amidst plenty—that in the richest capital in the world, an aged man has starved to death in its po pulous streets. "Oh London !—thou art," certainly, " the rich man's Paradise"—but " thou art also the Poor man's Hell ! ! Can this dreadful death have oc curred in a Christian community, living under the Gospel dispensation ? Can such sin-stained selfishness be suffered by the followers of the great REFORMER, who taught the most disinterested and generous phi lanthropy —whose whole life was spent in succouring the necoy, in doing good, and inculcating the para mount importance of CHARITY. A fellow creature has died from starvation ! -----.----. can such things he, And oTercome U 3 like a summer cloud, Without our special" horror. In the few words we have felt it our duty, as public journalists and accountable beings, to say on this sub ject, we must not be supposed as imputing wrong of any kind to the parochial authorities of St. Martin's ; but there is one frightful feature in the case—the dying man, in his latter. moments, declared that he had been driven away from the doors of several workhouses, -to which he went for relief. Those who so refused food and shelter to the famished old man, are morally responsi ble for his death, and we hesitate not to pronounce them (morally) guilty of murder. We are glad to perceive that Mr. O ' CONNELL no longer advocates the Repeal of the Union. At the great Galway Dinner on Monday last, we find him le peating his disclaimer, and expressing his adhesion to, and confidence in, the MELBOURNE Administration. All he demands—less he could not, ought not to dc rnand—is equal justice .for his long-oppressed and most misgoverned country ; and that such justice will be done to Ireland by the present Administration, the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin declares his full conviction. The following extract from his last, speech (the conclusion of which has not yet reached England,) will, we think, bear us out in the remark we set out with. After deprecating neutrality as a crime, Mr. O'CoNNELL said— • " EvCry man who does not assist us encourages the cry for conquest, and adds to the shout for the shedding of blood. W e all then should rally round the King's Go vernment. Recollect while they remain in power, we are safe ; remember while they continue in office our wives and children are safe ; but let them go out, and what ter rible consequences will follow, what heartburnings must ensue, how the Tories will rejoice, and the little ones who may be found in Tuam will strut along your streets with their bitter squint of malice. So it will be all over Ire land—in Cork, in Dublin. If the Administration be changed, the. Orang e flag will be once m ore h o i s t e d over our heads. Oh, let us all, then, rally, one and all, round the King' s present Ministcrs.—(Loud cheering.) You know I that th e p resent Mi n i sters are disposed to do justice to Ireland, and to carry their wishes into effect. All we want is equal justice ; from repeal, I make the experiment to see if we can have justice without it. If we can, 7 . don't wan't the repeal.". with the exception col, pronouncing sentence upon the last category, a form which will be gone through in the course of the ensuing week. And now that this judi cial farce is about to terminate—now that the KING has triumphed in his attempt to make the Charter sub servient to his will—now that, opposition has been crushed by the overwhelming influence of Regal des potism ; what compensation is to be made to those who, after enduring incarceration for seventeen months, are now declared by this mock tribunal inn , - Lent of all attempts against th^ r iree - dont the State IP Will these —o, after enduring the Voiseries—the privations . f a dungeonlre- thrust forth to perish, merely be-1 cause tyrants chose to suspect the passiveness or their fret-born spirits ? What plea can the parasites who encircle the throne of LOUIS PUILLIPPE offer for subjecting innocent Frenchmen to the foul contami nating atmosphere of a felon's dungeon---for' depriving them of the first and most sacred right of man, per sonal freedom—for forcing them into all association with guilt—for depriving their families of their guar dianship, and so rendering them inevitably miserable for the remainder of their lives ? Is it just that the fears of a tyrant should be allayed, by such a dreadful sacrifice of all that is sacred in society ? Was it con templated by the brave deliverers of France, in 1830— by LAFAYETTE and his associates—that future kings of France should claim a constitutional right of quiet ing their terrors of revolution, by entornbin& men alive for a period of seventeen months, and then, after a ju dicial mockery, send them forth to wander through the world with the brand of infamy on their brow, and the demon of hatred and revenge in their heart ? But such a perversion of justice will assuredly be fol lowed by a condign punishment. The individuals thus released will hardly fail to revenge their sufferings upon the Government and the country. It is bad policy to elevate men to the presumed importance of endangering the Government of a country, and after wards to- suffer them to go at large. Treason is a crime of which a wise Government would accuse no man, whom it was not furnished with the means of depriving of life. The accounts from Vittoria are to the sth instant. The armies were then inactive ; but a report prevailed of a battle having been fought in Arragon on the Ist, in which 1,500 Carli:its were killed, and 3,000 sur rendered, with their arms and baggage. The loss of the Christinos was not known, though it was pre sumed to be very considerable. We do not vouch for the authenticity of this rumour—the agents of the QUEEN are almost as much addicted to the circulation of exaggerated reports of battles, as the followers of Don CARLOS. PARIS, JAN. 21,—there is nothing official in the Moniteur to-day. M. Dome has not been appointed Governor of the Bank, but he is a candidate, as well as M. Lemereier de Norville, another Receiver General. The election will be on the 28th of this month. It is reported that Fieschi, Morey, Pepin, and Boireau, will be transfered on the 25th of this month to the prison of the Luxemburg. A letter from Saragossa of the lath, says that Captain- General Serrano had left that city with 3,000 infantry and 400 cavalry for Upper Aragon, to prevent the insurgents from realizing their projects of invadinn. Catalonia. On the 12th a battalion of the Foreign Legion had arrived at Saragossa, and it was announced that the legion was to go to Logrono. General Palaria had again beaten the rebels, and taken 400 prisoners, and 130 horses. The active operations of this General have greatly improved the state of affairs in Lower Aragon, and it was hoped that the insurgents would be wholly destroyed in less than a month. On the 7th seven pieces of heavy artillery arrived at Vit toria, and on the same day Gen. Cordova, accompanied by the Minister of War and Gen. Evans, pushed a reconnoisance to the town and fort of Guevara. They retired to Vittoria after leaving a strong garrison at Mataneo, on the road to Salvatierra. By the desire of Gen. Cordo a, Gen. Van Haien is destined for the army of the North. The Queen has conferred on that brave officer the rank of Commander of the Order of Isabella the Catholic, and the diploma granting him the favour is drawn up in a manner highly flattering to this officer, whose courage, patriotism, and mi►itary talents, it highly extols. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 23.—Nothin g important has oc curred here. The agents of the Princes of Wallachia and Moldavia are in frequent communication with the Porte. Lord Ponsonby has twice given audience to the Greek Ambas sador. It has been reported at Para that the King of Greece, has expressed to the King of Bavaria a wish to return home, and that he earnestly solicits this favour. This report is merely an invention of the malice of the Greeks ; however, we may believe that the Crown of Greece is not the one that has the fewest thorns. The Persian ambassador has received news from Teheran up to the 24th of November. The Shah had to contend with only two pretenders in the south-western provinces of his em pire. The other rebels were not considered to be dangerous. Our ambassador has been received with the highest honours at Tauris. SMYRNA, DEC. 17. The latest accounts we have from Athens are of the 13th. The King of Bavaria had caused the chiefs who took part in the war of independence to be pre sented to him. lie received them in the most gracious manner, and distributed a number of orders of knighthood. Private letters say that the King of Bavaria is greatly afflicted at the state of Greece.—Messager, Jan. 21. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARts, JANUARY 21. Five per Cents., 109 f. 80e. 110 f. 1091 95c.

These debates are uninteresting, particu larly as we gave the substance of them—we might almost say the identical words—in our last extracts from the Madiid papers. ERRATUM.-In a paragraph where Lord Sandon is mentioned a misprint occurs. It should have been, "he retailed the stale deceits, &c." and not—" detailed the state secrets." [lt is almost superfluous to notice this typogra phical error, since no one who knows his Lordship could ever imagine that Lord Sandon would ever be chosen as the depositary of state secrets or state affairs of any kind.] Mr. Wakley, M.P. for Finsbury, has been invited by a great body of the Reformers of that Metropolitan dis trict to meet them at a public dinner, to be held at the White Conduit-house on an early day after the re-assembling of Parliament in February. Joseph Htime, Esq. has con sented to preside on this occasion ; and the Committee anticipate the attendance of many Members of Parlia ment, who are eminent for their invariable support of measures of national reform. TRANSFER MEETING.—TOWER HAMLETS Di vision.—Yesterday afternoon, a special session was holden at the Tower Hamlets Court of Requests, Osborn -street, Whitechapel-road, before John Stock, Esq., Chairman, J. Hv.rdwick, Esq., the . Hon. Mr. Norton, and J. Jay, E sq ., M.,D., for the purpose of transferring licences of hotels arid victuallin g houses, situate within the Tower division of f f ie HUndred of Ossulston, when sixty-three licences of public-houses were transferred. The Chairman, addressing the incoming tenants, said he was happy to state, that with one exception only, no complaints had been exhibited :against any of them. AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.—An affair of rather a ludicrous description took place a few days since, in the town of Ardee—one that might have occasioned a vacancy in the county of Louth.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Madras Papers to the 4th October have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following are extracts : " The weather during the greater part of the week has been by no means so favourable as it was the week before. Light southerly and westerly winds have blown almost without in termission, with occasional calms. _ _ " By the Sir John Rae Reid, which arrived yesterday from Covelong and Swan River, we learn that that Colony is im proving, although not so rapidly as might be wished. During the last two years the crops have been very favourable, and they were looking forward to the next to be abundant. We learn that sonic wool has been already exported. Salt provi sions were in abundance; fresh meat was at a high price; money, which was very abundant at the Swan River during the first two or three years, is now very scarce. " We learn with much satisfaction that a considerable quan tity of rock is already blasted, and in readiness to be brought to the site of the proposed breakwater; and that as early as Tuesday next some of the stones will be on the beach opposite the Custom-honse. It is also stated that the Venerable Arch deacon will be solicited to do the honour of laying the first stone."

This dullness may be attributed to the approaching meeting of Parliament, likewise to the continuation of the armaments in the various French ports, where they are getting ready a considerable naval force destined for the Mediterranean, to watch the movement, of Russia.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAV, - JAN NARY 23, 1836 KING'S BENC/1-(THtS DAY.) THE KING V. LAINGUAIi. This was an information ht the i nattire o f a quo tiicirrtlnto, calling upon th e det'cndant to. din* bjt what atitliYfilt liti elitr ciseti the office of Mayor of the borough of Berwidt-upoti- Tweed. The case had biers tried befbre. Mr. Jtistiee Cole ridge, at th e Nottlittinhtrlan stiieitj 4 4i had for the Crown hpon, issues, and, for thb defenelLnt two other issues. The verdict in substance Was, that due no tice of the meetfng, fO;r theptlrpdsp, Of elect ing the Illayof, 114 ,11. nut been given to tlidesi (twn • been omitted); and that the Mayor, Bailiff, and burger es being duly assembled at a Guild, held for that par ptse after Bete twtiev l duly elected the cicfciiOnt, A rule for leave to enter a verdict for tho kA.eWri riau beer suusequentii obtained by Mr: Sergeant Aiteherley op the grtititid that the omission of t wo bu r g e sses vitiated the eleeiloil. Sir Frederick Pollock, Mr. Creswell, Mr. Ingham, and Mr. Wightman, now appeared to show cause against the rule. In the course of his arguments, Sir Frederick Pollock observed that the election had-occurred so far back as the 23d March, 1831, and the relator, William Hopper Tompkins, who was the other candidate for the office of Mayor, in opposition to the defendant, could not have the most remote interest in now seeking to disturb the verdict. Since the ease had been upon their Lordships' paper, all interest in the Ultimate disposal of the question had evaporated, in consequence of the introduc tion of the new Municipal Bill. If a new trial was rid* Sought for, it could only be obtained upon the payment of costs, upon which condition his Learned Friends on the other side were perfectly welcome to it; but, as he had before ob served, the matter not being now of the value of a straw to any human being, he was satisfied it would not be accepted on these terms. The arguments had not concluded, when our Reporter left. EXCHEQUER COURT-(THIS DAY). JUDGMENT.-LYDE V. BARMARD. A motion for a new trial• in the above cause was argued during last Term, when the Court took time to consider their judgment. This morning, at the sitting of the Court, the Learned Judges delivered their opinions seriatim. The facts of the case were these :—Lord Edward Thynne applied to the plain tiff for the loan of a sum of money, for which he proposed to assign his interest in the money he received under his marriage settlement, under which the defendant was a trustee. Plaintiff went to defendant, and inquired what was the present state of the fund, and whether it was much encumbered. Defendant then said Lord E. Thynne was in the receipt of the full half of the dividend, and upon that representation the plaintiff lent the money, amounting to I,ooot. It afterwards turned out that the Marquis of Bath, Lord Edward's father, had the settle ments mortgaged for 2,0001. For such false representations, the plaintiff brought his action, which was tried before Lord Abinger, and the plaintiff nonsuited—his Lordship consider• ing that! the case came within the Act 8 Geo. IV., cap. 16, called Lord Tenterden's Act, by which it is required that a defendant shall not be charged in such action, without the re presentation was given in writing. Mr. Baron GURNEY was of opinion that the Lord Chief Baron was right in his view of the case, and that the rule for a new trial ought to be discharged. Mr. Baron ALDERSON was of opinion that the nonsuit was wrong, and that there ought to be a new trial. He considered that the representation made did not affect the ability of Lord E. Thynne, and that he did not come within the meaning of Lord Tenterden's Act. Mr. Baron PARKE was of the same opinion. He thought the case ought to have been left to the Jury, The LORD CHIEF BARON was very sorry to differ from his two Learned Brothers, but he still, after much consideration, entertained the same opinion that he did at the trial. The case was one of much importance, so much so that the Court were at one time very anxious to have it argued before the whole of the Judges. He would propose that the rule should be made absolute, in order that the parties might have the opportunity of tendering a bill of exceptions. As the Court was divided, the rule must be made absolute on the payment of costs. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

LIVERPOOL—An answer was yesterday received from Mr. O'Connell, in reply to the invitation conveyed to him last week by Mr. Rathbone, as agreed upon at a meeting of the leading Reformers of this town on the 13th inst. Mr. O'Connell has accepted the invitation, and will dine in Liverpool on Wednesday next, the 27th inst. A meeting of the Reformers was convened, and a permanent Commit tee formed for the purpose of carrying into effect the ar rangements of the dinner. CONNAUGHT.—Mr. O'Connell set out for Tuam, where he was to be entertained on Monday by the Reformers of Connaught. The dinner, as appears from the Correspon dent of two Morning Papers, was most numerously and re spectably attended, and the reception given to the Hon. Gentleman was highly flattering and enthusiastic. RoscommoN.—On Tuesday morning Mr. O'Connell left Tuam, for the seat of his son-in-law, Mr. French, in the county of Roscommon, where he spent the night, and set out early next, day, for Stradballa, where he was to be entertained by the Reformers of the Queen's County. The Learned Gentleman will arrive in Dublin on Friday next, and the following evening will pre s id e a t a charity dinner for the support of an orphan asylum. On Monday he will be honoured by a public entertainment on a magnificent scale by the citizens of Dublin, and on the following day (the 26th), he intend s t o sa il f or Li verpoo l, where he has accepted an invitation to dine with the Re formers of that town.

COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELISTS. —We observe that this cheap and elegant publication has given rise to seve ral other new literary speculations, but we must confess that no one among them possesses so many attractions, when we consider the judgment displayed in the selection of authors —the convenience of the form—the beauty of the printing and binding, and the interesting nature of the embellish-, ments—combining besides, amidst scenes of humour and pathos, the portraits of the several authors. In the new volume, just published, containing Mr. Lister's " Granby," every one must be struck with the extraordinary likeness of the author, engraved by Finden—a more happy delineation was never, perhaps, achieved by any artist. The work itself, too, is eminently adapted to become a classic, among the English novelists. As distinguished from those of the old school, the Edinburgh Review observes, of the popular class of novels in which Mr. Lister so pre-eminently shines, that, " The spectator, though he neither thrills with horror, nor shakes with inextinguishable laughter as of yore, looks on with the calm but deep interest of one who feels that the case of the actors in the drama* may come to be his own ; and from the spectacle of their joys and sorrows, errors and perplexities, he may retire a wiser and a better man." Well, indeed, does this work deserve a place in a library of entertaining knowledge. INQUEST AT SHANDRUM, NEAR CHARLEVILLE. —The following is from the Cork Southern Reporter, just received in town :—This inquest was brought to a close at four o'clock on Sunday morning, when the jury , who had r etired at nine o'cl oc k on t h e preceding evening, after hav ing been charged by the Coroner, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased, Terence Sweeney, came by his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound from one of several shot s f rom a party of police, fired in discharge of their duty, and while repelling a tithe-infuriated assemblage." MR. ALDERMAN WINCHESTER AND MR. ROTCH. —.— The following correspondence terminates the disagreeable business between Alderman Winchester and Mr. Rotch Furnival's-inn, January 20. 1836. " Having seen in the morning papers of this day a report of the proceedings of the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, holden yesterday, and the conciliatory resolution adopte,! by the Court (in which, in a rummer so honourable to yourself, you ;;t once expressed a readiness to concur), I have no hesitation in expressing to you my sincere regret, that in a moment of excitement I addressed to you, when Lord - Mayor, the letters I did, and which I request you will do me the favour to consider as withdrawn ; thereby terminating, t trust, satis factorily to your ,feelings, an affair which I am sorry to think must have been as painful to you as it has been to myself.

The three councils o f .trade assembled yesterday in the hall of the Council of State for the purpose of considering the question of the duty on sugt;rs. The Minister of Com merce laid before the Councils an ,•-xpose of the respective situations, in regard to the production of sugar, of the colo nies, and the native soil. He stated the a mount of imports and exports, and of the duties levied. H e . ;ntimated, that in the course of last year the manufactories of beetroot sugar had yielded an equivalent equal to the value of 25,000,000 f., which is about the third of the annual quan tity consumed by the country, at the price of 35f. per civuin tal—a quantity that the colonies cannot, under the present state of things, supply for less than 25f., taken on the spot. There are now 50,000 hectares of land in France devoted to the culture of beetroot, and the Minister has laid stress on the fact that in the districts to which that culture is at present chiefly confined, the value of land has doubled. M. Sylvester, Secretary to the Agricultural Society, spoke at great length in favour of the native sugar. He did not admit that this source of industry could at present bear any tax. M. Bignon, a merchant of Nantes, spoke to the contrary effect. He defended the interests f the colonial article, and concluded by suggesting the propriety of establishing a duty of 15f. the quintal on beetroot sugar, and of Thcreasing by 22f. the amount of premiums now,allowed on the expor tation of refined sugars. M. Charles Dupin likewise spoke against the interests of the beetroot sugar mani; facturers. (From Galignani's IllessC.nger, Afternoon Edition.) A letter of the 15th inst. &oh: , Perpignan gives us the following details of events at Barce.lona since our last ac counts :—" All the prisoners who we,'" put on board the Rodney, including Gironella, have been t:ansferred to the Childers, which was to sail on the 12th for Palencia, where they were to be embarked in Spanish vessels for the Ha vannab. Several chiefs of the faction have fled,• or con cealed themselves, since the return of Mina. Colonel Montero, ex-Governor of Vich, has been arrested as, an accomplice of Gironella. General Pastors has been pat under arrest for not having prevented the invasion of the citadel, and the massacre of the prisoners ; but what could he do, when he was certain that the troops which guarded them were in concert with the murderers ? The effect of the occurrences of the 4th and sth had been felt at Tarragona. The populace was about to massacre about 75 prisoners, the remainder of those who have been trans ported, when the Governor requested the captains of the French and English ships the Egli and the Tyne to re ceive them on board, which was immediately alone. Having failed in this, the people drew up a list of procriptions, containing about 250 names, but these were reclined to 100 by delegates from the companies of the National Guards, who had demanded it. Of these proscripts 35 had already been embarked, to be transported to Ivica• Some persons, who were supposed to have fallen victims to the massacres of the night of the 4th, happily made their. escape. Among them are three Frenchmen, the only ones known to be among the prisoners in the citadel, and who have been claimed by the French authorities. They have been liberated, and are about to return to their own country. The events at Barcelona have had no effect on the trair quillity of Valencia. On the 9ti: the Civil Governor is' sued a proclamation, recommending union and order. An English squadron, was expected at. Alicaot., GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS. OF MOLDAVIA, DEC. 27.--Since the ac counts communicated on the 4th inst. respectinc , the situa tion of Moldavia, and the banishment of the three great Boyars, very little alteration has taken place ; and it plaY be said, that the discontent which was at first confined t° , some families of Boyars, has now extended to the inhab' tants of almost all the towns, and especially of the- ca pital. After the order of banishment against the great Boyars , Constantine Stourdza and Ghika, a cousin of the Prine°,,, of Wallachia, who had declared that Prince .Stourdza d id did not govern according to the principles of the organic statute ; and by the purchase of so many estates and forests+ which after his death cvnuld be lost to the public, and become the private property of his gamily, was only preparing ruin for the state, and by such separation rendering the country hereditary in his family, the Archbishop of Jassy foresee' ing the consequences of this banishment, on account of the numerous adherents that these Boyars have in the country, hastened to the Palace of the Prince, and conjured him to recal the sentence. The Boyars, however, did not think fit to wait for the result of this step ; but left Jassy, d e clar ing at the same time that they should wait with patience for further orders from Constantinople. It is affirmed tho they at the same time presented a memorial to M. Von Lackmann, the Russian Consul-General, which, if its con' tents are such as they are affirmed to, be, is- likely to cause a great sensation at St. Petersburgh. It is also known from other quarters that the Boyars and the discontented persons in general rely on the well know°, love of j us ti ce , an d t h e accurate knowled g e of the state al the two principalities possessed by Gen. Kisseloff, in which all hopes are placed. Meantime Prince Stourdza, w h o ling unquestionably rendered services to the country, is in as most critical situation, and what is probably the most dig' tressing to him is, that the discontent has proceeded from the aristocracy of the country, which has latter!y sough t to isolate itself f rom bi te . A•l etter f rom J assy of 26th December, says—" We are looking forward for naelaneholY tidings, and a far more melancholy carnivikl. Many faini lies of Boyars, with the exception of those whose duties retain them at Court, or who hold public offices, have re' tired to their estates since the late events. The streets are deserted, and the shops are without customer's." This letter contains besides, other expressions wbich we have no mind to repeat.
